REPUBLICANS ELECT TICKET AT WHEATFIELD.

Wheatfield Review — The town election held Tuesday was the most interesting held here for many years, the candidates on both tickets working hard to get the most votes. The following was the score: 107 votes were cast and three ballots were mutilated. For trustee second ward: Warren J. White, 57; Albert Stembel, 47. For trustee third ward: John Williams, 59; H. R. Langdon, 45. For clerk: Grover Stembel, 51; Isaac Es Biggs, 52. > For treasurer: George Lose, 42;! Joseph' Hilliard, 61. There were cast thirty-seven straight democratic votes and fortyseven straigh trepublican votes. The principal issue in the campaign was in reference to the -schools. The 1919 legislature passed a law that not more than two members of the school board of incorporated towns shall be adherents of the same political party; and the town trustees are required by law to elect a member of the board each year at their meeting in June. So far the trustees of the town have failed to elect a trustee for the school board.
